The end of the year always offers a good opportunity for reflection and the theme for OMGKRK Academy #10 is Krakow Tech – Year In Review.
We believe that 2018 was a big year for the Krakow innovation ecosystem filled with stories of growth and success. CallPage closed a blockbuster deal with local VC Innovation Nest and international investors. Base Lab becomes a part of Zendesk becoming the largest and most notable exit in the community. Global companies like qualtrics open up offices in the city. Meanwhile, local companies like Synerise begin to take over the world. Events like Smogathon scale globally showing that Krakow is a solutions-orientated city. These are just a few headline examples of a growing and more innovative digital economy sector in the region.
